In this composition of the artist as an ageless author I see (1) a painting in the style of the late Serge Golon very reminiscent of ' Old Larches at Crans-Montana, Switzerland'. This remarkable image of Anne Golon © of the magazine L'illustré 2002 reminds me of the ' Arnolfini Marriage' by Jan van Eyck which is loaded with symbolism - here is my interpretation of 'A Portrait of an Author as an ageless woman' with apologies to James Joyce The BBC is not responsible for the content of external websites.Golon Books Home / Home Page / Artists Page 'Portrait of an ageless Author' Marquise of Angels is the first book in the series and is about Angelique's childhood as the daughter of an impoverished nobleman, and her first marriage to a much older man and their subsequent adventures at the court of Louis XIV. Many readers received an introduction to the books through the films and TV adaptations on French television. The novels were incredibly popular in France in the 50s and 60s, but not all of them were translated into English. In truth though, the books were written largely by Anne, with Serge providing the background research into the life and times of Louis XIV and his court. The books were written by husband and wife team Serge and Anne Golon and published under the name Sergeanne Golon.

This is the first in a series of historical adventure stories set in 17th century France featuring the heroine Angelique on her adventures through life.
